R.D. Laing
“Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane.”
R. D. Laing

David Goggins
“From then on, I brainwashed myself into craving discomfort. If it was raining, I would go run. Whenever it started snowing, my mind would say, Get your fucking running shoes on. Sometimes I wussed out and had to deal with it at the Accountability Mirror.

David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

David Goggins
“Be more than motivated, be more than driven, become literally obsessed to the point where people think you're fucking nuts.”
David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

Arthur C. Clarke
“Imagine that every man’s mind is an island, surrounded by ocean. Each seems isolated, yet in reality all are linked by the bedrock from which they spring.

Arthur C. Clarke, Childhood’s End

“They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game”
R.D. Laing, Knots
